Michael used to do the same thing. Tho he would also find some morsel, snag it, maim it, then start squawking/alerting the ladies, that het is something good here. Come to think of it the only time I ever seen him eat treats is when he was just a little tike. After he was grown , it was all about the ladies.
There was this other thing he used to do. Everytime he would see me he would start squawking different. Seem like hey watch out girls someone is coming, then as I got closer it would change oh it's him. then it change to yall stand back and let him in. Since no matter what I would bring treats. And it was his way of saying "don't bum rush the man". he would do the little puffing up and strutting as if to challenge me as if to be making sure I was still head turkey and he was ready to take over if need be. LOL. Then he would start calling them. I'd throw out the treats and it was a free for all. Except my buddy. he would get on my right side, face the same way I am and he would look at me as if to say " That was mighty kind of you sir." Then he would stand there with me watching them eat. You would hear him making the low rumbly sounds they make. I could swear that it was him making small talk with me. like "Look at em, fight for that bread" "Or nice weather hum bob?" "ya think it's gonna rain.". We be there standing making small talk. Yes I was out loud replying back. Then they would ba all finish and he'd walk off with them or a fight would break out and he'd run up and get in between. Then he would mount... Ok we don't have to go over that part.
My ex thought it was so funny that day after day this was the routine. Thought it was funny enough that she secretly recorded me and him for like 2 weeks. She showed it to ma and remarked that it was like that scene in Forrest Gump at the end where him and his son were fichin sitting on that log with both our heads tilted. I was a tad bit embaressed on the inside but she will never know . LOL. I miss MY BUDDY.
